I've heard a K03X playing mostly CDs in a high end system and have been impressed. Mirroring some prior thread comments, we played one of my CDs on the K03X and then streamed the same CD via Tidal through the K03X's DAC. The physical CD sounded significantly better.
My primary interest here: How much SQ do you believe I'd give up (your experience/view) by acquiring a K05X or a K07X instead of a K03X for mostly RB CDs? Secondary: Using just the DAC for streaming?

There was an improvement in sound quality and I wanted a black unit to match my Levinson gear. I have not heard the K03X but suspect the sound quality difference would be greater than the K07 to K05. The dac circuit is much more significant, higher quality and more dacs, and a much better power supply.
